The problem with the intellectually dishonest is that they will seek every other explanation than the plain truth and fact.
The fact is like in America, where an occupation will not be tolerated, Iraqis and Arabs, with their complexities, will not tolerate an occupation by the USA. If American troops remain in Iraq for another 100 years the result will still be the same. The truth is often much simpler than fiction. PERIOD.

Bush is reaching here. And I think he's reaching too far. It might be true, but I doubt it. This is violence between Shia and Sunni Muslims, who disagree on what Islam teaches. Not that much different than the Protestant/Catholic fighting of Ireland. Al Qaeda is probably part of it, but certainly not the driving part or even a major part of it. This is something that should have been foreseen (since the first Bush foresaw it, one would assume the same info is still there for the second Bush), and Bush is trying to paint it in the best light.
Saying basically that it is all Al quaeda's fault, and not his.

No, yet McCain is commie terror plot. How do you imagine he escaped being a prisoner of conflict? Sounds fishy to me. they'd him lengthy adequate to absolutely brainwash him. perchance he does no longer even comprehend it. how can you've faith someone who has been brainwashed? Why did he divorce his spouse once he were given decrease back? The commies were planning this for a lengthy time period. Too many responded questions.

Partially, yes. But there's so many other factors that are equally as damaging...like the sectarian violence there now.

Yes and no.
They are hurting the efforts, but the neverending sunni/shiite thing is the bigger issue - that cant be fixed because neither of those groups wants to fix it.
